0812: The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living And Became Mixed-Up Zombies!!?

MST3k, Experiment #0812

She Keeps Monsters in Cages for Pets! He Preys on Wild Go-Go Girls! The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living And Became Mixed-Up Zombies!!?

Beatnick Jerry takes his girl, Angie to the carnival. Angie wants to go see the gypsy fortune teller, Jerry does not but relents. After visiting the fortune teller and hearing bad news, Jerry goes alone to see Carmelita, the dancer (the fortune teller's sister). He is invited backstage and is mesmerized into becoming a psychotic killer. Angie, and Jerry's best friend Harold realize something is amiss when Jerry tries to kill Angie.

This is... huh?!

Winning the prize for the longest movie title in MST3k history... quite possibly of all time, I dunno... this movie is one tardfest of an awesome confusing something. Just when you thought Manos was weird, this thing comes along and shoved weird up your ass just to prove you wrong. The plot makes little-to-no sense, and the whole thing just kinda randomly does stuff. There's dancing, and not good dancing either. There's scantily clad women who look like men, and there's a carnival.

Oh yes, and Ortega. Ortega is a character from the movie who makes it onto the SOL... He's basically the SciFi era Torgo, and he's every bit as weird.

I personally love this episode, and I think this is right up there are one of the funniest of the whole series. Definitely in the top 5 now.
